the opportunity
At EarthWise, we believe inherently that pets are family. That’s why we’ve devoted more than four decades to ensuring our furry friends have access to high quality nutrition, safe supplies and top-notch grooming services nationwide. It’s why we’ve built a business model that helps franchisees thrive while contributing to the joy pets add to our lives.
Strong margins
We compete on the basis of quality, not price. Our customers are happy to pay more to provide their pets the best food and care. They gravitate toward products that are all-natural and safe for the environment. Our average grooming ticket for 2018 was $57.21, a 40.1% increase since 2015, according to our Franchise Disclosure Document.
Hub for all needs
EarthWise Pet Supply franchisees work closely with animal rescue groups and reputable pet service providers in the community. Word-of-mouth from customers and other pet care providers helps build our brand.
Customers rely on us as experts
Our pet franchise owners, with the assistance of our pet nutrition certification program, help educate and guide customers. It’s the kind of one-on-one support that consumers don’t experience when buying online or browsing the dozens of aisles in some massive big-box pet retailer.
Manageable store size
Ideally, EarthWise franchise locations range in size from 1,600 to 2,200 square feet. Within that footprint is a full retail store as well as grooming and self-wash services. We don’t need enormous amounts of space to have a huge impact on our communities.
